    unto you for the same purpose Mr. Dr. Wootten, a man very well learned, one of this Society and Company, borne within the city, and of long and good practice in the same. Of whom if, at our request it shall please you to make good liking, we doubt not but that the sequale itself will right well declare how good and con- venient a choice you have made therein. We are not herein to press yo1 Wisedoms any further than may stand with ycF good pleasure. But yet if this our honest motion may take place, we shall think ourselves well respected, and that you have a good regard both of us and our priviledges in placing none other there but such as is of our Society, and therefore will be most ready and willing in what we may to requite yor curtesies. And for so much as that place hath oftentimes great and strange accidents and divers cases of importance not elsewhere usuall, if this our said College and Fellows maie be admitted to the same, we will be ready from time to time as occasion shall serve in all such matters of difficulty and moment, to allowe and impart unto him our best advice and conference—a matter to the poor sick and diseased of no small co’modity and com- fort. And, albeit so noble and well governed a city as this is, is rather to give than take example by any other whatsoever, yet whereas in other honble cities and towns in all Europe, where the like hospitalls are maintained, the Physitian is always provided out of the body and of the Society and College of the Physitions of the same city, we leave the consideration of this their discreet and honbIe dealing herein to be rather thought upon and considered by yor Wisedoms than of us to be further urged. And so comit yor Worships to the good government of the Almightie. “At our College this vij. of January, 1584 [i.e., 1585]. “ YcF Wor’ps assured Friendes, “ The President and Society of the College of Physitions.”
